Bob I do not have a RMS 6th Div. that old mine is Feb. 1, 1952 b = Ex Sun. e = Sun As with most Govt.'s there are pages of notes I remember riding with my Dad who would catch a relief trip now and again from White Pigeon to Kalamazoo Mich. Stopping at each town along US 131 unloading and loading sacks of mail along the way. On the way home we would again stop at each post office unloading and loading more sacks. When we got back to White Pigeon which was on US 12 (then it was 112) we would meet the Highway Post Office that ran from Chicago to Detroit. Example is scan from Page 15 RPOs that originated at Burlington Hope this helps a little. Just asks more Question generally in researching Steve in SC

I'm looking at a "report of railroad mail service performed by the CB&Q" dated 4/11/30 for RMS sixth division. Each train is listed by number and the communities served. There is a column for the length of the RPO compartment and a column for the length of storage cars. The train from Oregon to Forreston and return has a storage car, but the length is listed as "b.". The train from Chicago to Mt. Morris and return has a 60' storage car, but the "b" notation appears in the RPO column. Does anyone know what "b" stands for? Further down for a train between Aurora and Shabbona the code is "e." Any guesses? Bob Herrick _._,_._,_
